Currently there are some abstractions shipped with Gem in the Gem/ dir, but if you load Gem, it'll find Gem/Gem.pd_linux, and then never add Gem/ to the search path so that its possible to load the abstractions without a 'Gem/' prefix.
How about adding Gem/ to the searchpath when Gem is loaded? I think gridflow does this and it seems to work well there.
